Not Grading the Civil Service Law.

both deny the truth of published reports
that heads of executive departments are, or

clerks and promoting clerks without com
petitive examinations, Mr. Oberly says
they found some cases in which appoint
ments or promotions were made without
compliance with the provisions of the law,
but in nearly every case OF this kind it has
been demonstrated by Investigation that the
appointment was made by inadvertence, and
not with any intent to ignore or violate the
law, and in every case wbe the attention of
the proper official was called to the matter
it has been promptly rectifed The official
head of the Grand Army OF the Republic
submitted list OF forty eight appointments
in the interior department, which it was
complained were made in violation of the

of and compliance with the provisions of the
law, and these six they have not yet been
able to locate.

am of opinion that it is not conso-

ing to designate an action which is er
contracts as "case" although anciently
assunpsit was trespass on the case
upon promises. "Case" is suited to
torts or actions er delictu.
But although the complaint styles
this action ''trespass on the case upon
promises" from what follows it is, to
my mind, an ordinary declaration in
express assumpsit upon promissory
note. The making of the note and
the promise to pay is aid in apt words,
and COPY Oh Tie DoLe is annexed to
the declaration and made part thereof.
The ad damnum is laid at $1,200. The
note is for $750.21 and interest at 10
per cent. per annum, and the princi
pal and interest since Sept. %, 1888,
when the note was made would nearly
come up to the ad damnum. The
amount of the ad dananum laid cannot
affect the case, provided only that the
plaintiff can recover no more than he
asks for, and he cannot recover in
this case, except for principal and in
terest and costs.
do not think the declaration is
demurrable on the ground stated. The
Objectionable phrase which names the
action may be treated as surplusage.
therefore overrule the demurrer
with costs. Defendants may answer

No such provision is contained in
our statutes, and is contrary to the
course of decisions since the issuance
of the Regulations for preventing
Collisions at Sea-" of 1868, which were
adopted in this Kingdom and after
wards modified in accordance with the
amended Regulations.
The case of the Martha Elizabeth
was decided in the U. S. District Court,
District of California, and although
the head note in the report Il Sawyer
1921 tends to show that the decision
was solely on the ground that "Lights
required By lao must be displayed" Yet
the learned Judge Hoffman who heard
the case, admitted testimony to show
that the collision was caused, by the
gross fault and Encouragement of
the colliding vessel, and held that the
evidence negatived such allegation.
There can be no doubt as to the rule
observed in the whole course of the
decisions of Courts of Admiralty that
where the neglect of the vessel to obey
the statutory rules as to carrying
lights, or of navigation, has contrib
uted to collision the vessel in default
is held responsible to the extent OF
one half, or the whole of the damages
as the case may be, and the authori-
ties cited on behalf of the appellant
maintain this view.
As to the contention on behalf of
the appellant that the "Moiwahine"
executed wrong maneuvre immedi
ately before the collision, we agree
with the opinion of the Court below,
that such maneuvre was justifable
under the circumstances, and indeed
prevented greater damage than would
have been sustained had she continued
on her course. It was made when the
collision was inevitable through the
default of the steamer.
Although there is authority to sup
port the contention of the respondents
that even supposing the ''Moiwahine"
did not exhibit any lights, yet if the
"Dowsett" could have avoided the
collision she would be responsible (see
in addition to the authorities quoted
by respondents: The Englishman,
L. R. 8, P. D. Is. The Chusan 50 L.
T. R. n. S. COY and such is the view
taken by Mr. Justice Fernandez We
do not decide this case on that ground
We adopt the reasoning of the Court
below and find
l. That the "Moiwahine" exhibited
the proper lights.
2 That the navigation of the Moi
wahine" was proper under the circum-
stances and did not contribute to the
collision, which had become newt
able.
3. That the collision was caused by
the 'Dowsett" neglecting to keep
proper lookout, and therefore she was
solely to blame.
The decree of the Chief Justice is
therefore affirmed with costs.

Opinion of n,. Justice FoRNANDER.


Having heard the evidence and the
arguments of counsel, [ am painfully
affected by the positive and diametri-
cally opposed character of the evidence
of the two ships crews, that of the
81. l. Dowsett" and that of the Moi
wahine," as to the fact whether the
"Moiwahine" carried proper and legal
lights previous to the collision.
That seven or eight men, from the
master down. on one side or the other,
should have wilfully and maliciously
perjured themselves, is hard to be-
lieve, and, though the evidence fur
nishes no clue to the Discrepancy, 1
am willing to believe that each side
honestly thinks itself right.
Such being the case the two sets of
evidence, as to whether the "Moiwa-
hine" was properly lighted or not,
neutralize each other: and, were it
the only fact bearing upon the coils
ion and its cause, judgment would
have to go against the "Dowsett" as
not being sufficiently proven.
But, fortunately, there is one ma
terial fact to which the crews of both
vessels agree without variation. 1t is
this: They say that though the night
was dark, yet it was starry night"
1t might have been hazy under the
land, bnt in mid channel, where they
were it was not hazy That fact and
its consequences does not seem to me
to have been sufficiently elucidated on
the trial; but what that fact implies 1
will now endeavor to state. A dark
but starry night implies tho ability of
seeing a very considerable distance
ahead of the vessel on which you are.
l have followed the sea professionally,
in my younger days-for sixteen
years, from foremost hand to master
mariner, and I think l am greatly
within the mark when l say that on a
dark (moonless) but starry night a
vessel of the size of the ''Moiwahine"
under all sail, maiusail, foresail and
iib, standing across the course of an
other vessel, ought to have been dis
tinctly visible at least half mile off.
That the 'Moiwahine" was not seen
at that distance from the deck of the
'Dowsett" in fact was not seen at all
until the time of the collision, is to
me abundant evidence that the watch
or lookout of the "Dowsett" was either
asleep, absent, or culpably lax in their
duty.
Had they seen the ''Moiwhine" as
they ought to have done, on "a dark
but starry night" there would have
been ample time to inform the officer
of the deck or the captain and to adopt
such maneuvres as would have avoided
collision.
Our statutes are positive that steam
ers must give way to sailing vessels,
and they have no proviso that if such
sailing vessels do not carry proper
lights, that fact makes the steamer
excusable in case of collision.
Light or no light, the "Moiwhine,"
under all sails on dark but starry
night should have been seen by the
''Dowsett" as an object to be avoided.
I therefore concur with the Chief
Justice in dismissing the suit of the
'Dowsett" and awarding the damages

Some of the small Belgian coins, which
"a: perhaps, the prettiest of all the
modern examples, have vigorous effect
given them, not by raising the effigy in
the center much above the general sur
face, but by surrounding it with a sunk
space, from which it stands out bold and
round, although protected from wear by
the rim which carries the inscription
With the English or American coins, in
which profile head or other figure swims
about in an ocean Of background, such u
treatment would be impracticable; but
the Belgian designers fit their lion very
cleverly into his circular frame, without
either crowding or awkward vacancies.
A disposition of this sort would be the
very one which would occur to trained
decorative artist, to whom the jumbles
that now pass muster for coinage designs
would be denominations; and sculptor of
the first rank might then be called in

Champagne is not stored in the London
dock vaults, bueon the upper floors of the
dock warehouses. The Russians, who
used to rival the United States in cham
payne drinking, are fast giving up that
wine and betaking themselves to port.
There were not more than SOC, 900 bottles
of champagne taken in Russia last year.
The English cannot understand the taste
of Americans for new champagne. The
impression appears to prevail in the
United States that champagne deterior-
ates after it is three or four years old, and
it is said this impression, for reasons of
their own, has been fostered by the trade
in that country. The English and French
laugh at this. They do not touch cham
payne until it is at least seven or eight
years old, and large dealer, who was
looking OF some of his stock in the ware
house, said he had champagne of the vim
tage cf 1868, which was much sought
after.-St. Louis Republican.
